Upgrading an existing G700 without an S8300 using the Upgrade Tool
Use the following guidelines to setup the upgrade:
If the customer uses a common logon ID and password for multiple gateways, complete
●
the Common G350/G700 Logon Values fields.
If the customer has a centralized TFTP server for use by multiple G700 or G350 Media
●
Gateways or the customer has a centralized FTP server for use by multiple G350 Media
Gateways, complete the Common TFTP/FTP Server Values fields.
Use the Max Sessions field to specify how many gateways can be simultaneously
●
connected to a TFTP or a FTP server for upgrading. The number must be between one
and 20 inclusive. If you do not specify a number, the Upgrade Tool defaults to six.
If any gateways require unique logon values or unique TFTP servers, complete the
●
Override Common Values for G350 and G700 Targets fields. You can enter override
values for the following:
- The IP address of the unique TFTP server.
- The completed path to the directory from the root of the TFTP server.
- The logon information for the gateway.
If any override fields are left blank, the values entered in the Common fields are used.
●
Some upgrades may time out due to network traffic and limitations on how long the
●
Upgrade Tool will allow an upgrade to continue.
Since the media gateway (MGP) firmware files are fairly large they may cause a timeout
●
during an upgrade to a remote location. What you enter in the TFTP Directory field
depends on the type of TFTP server you are using. If the TFTP server is:
- An S8300 or an LSP, enter the path to the firmware files relative to the /tftpboot
directory. For example, if the firmware files are in /tftpboot/cm4.0/728.0, enter
cm4.0/728.0.
Note:
If the files are in the /tftpboot directory on the S8300 server/LSP and there is no
Note:
subdirectory, leave the TFTP Directory field blank.
- An Avaya Windows server, enter the path of the outbound source for the TFTP server
specified to be accessed. For example, if the firmware files reside in the directory c:
ftp_outbound\cm4.0\728.3 and the TFTP server application is configured to
have its outbound source as c:ftp_outbound, then you would enter cm4.0\728.3
as the value in the TFTP Directory field.
Note:
If the files are in /tftpboot on the Avaya server and there is no subdirectory, leave
Note:
the TFTP Directory field blank.
- A customer server, ask the customer how their TFTP server is set up.
